Clang linker doesn't support NEXT. As we are not using the MEMORY command
to define discontinuous memory for the output file in any of the linker
scripts, ALIGN and NEXT are equivalent.

When defining different sections in linker scripts it is needed to align
them to multiples of the page size. In most linker scripts this is done
by aligning to the hardcoded value 4096 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
This may be confusing when taking a look at all the codebase, as 4096
is used in some parts that aren't meant to be a multiple of the page
size.

Some recent enhancements to EL3 runtime firmware like support for
save and restoring GICv3 register context during system_suspend
necessitates additional data memory for the firmware. This patch
introduces support for creating a TZC secured DDR carveout for use
by ARM reference platforms. A new linker section `el3_tzc_dram` is
created using platform supplied linker script and data marked with
the attribute `arm_el3_tzc_dram` will be placed in this section.
The FVP makefile now defines the `PLAT_EXTRA_LD_SCRIPT` variable to
allow inclusion of the platform linker script by the top level BL31
linker script.
